Welcome to Class 8 with Mrs Baines and Miss Dale. This page provides key information about our learning, routines and expectations for the year. We aim to create a positive and purposeful classroom where children feel confident, challenged and proud of their achievements.

In Year 6, we build on previous learning with a strong focus on reading, writing and mathematics, while continuing to enjoy a broad and engaging curriculum as we prepare for SATs.

Homework

Homework will be set weekly on EdShed.  Children are expected to complete their spelling and maths activities to reinforce learning from the week.

Reading Journals

As ever, reading is such a big focus this year. Your child will bring their reading journal home with them daily. We encourage children to read at home every night and write a comment in their journals.

PE and Swimming

Swimming lessons take place every Monday, and PE is on Friday. Children should bring their PE kit: a plain white T-shirt and black shorts.

For swimming, children should wear a suitable swimming costume or swimming trunks. Bikinis and loose-fitting shorts are not permitted for health and safety reasons.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to Mrs Baines or Miss Dale at the beginning or end of the school day, or contact the school office. Thank you for your support—we look forward to a successful and enjoyable year in Class 8.
